The possible corrective method is gene therapy.

For example, ADA (Adenosine deaminase) deficiency has been treated through gene therapy. Lymphocytes from the blood of the patient are grown in a culture. A functional ADA cDNA is introduced into these lymphocytes, which are subsequently returned to the patient. The permanent cure is done by introducing ADA cDNA into cells at early embryonic stages.
